Swatches and eye dropper tool
I would like to see an eye dropper tool and the swatches panel in Illustrator for iPad. The eye dropper tool would be useful for selecting colors in a photo and applying those colors to a shape. The swatches panel would be useful for selecting textures and previous colors that were used.

Please support iPad Pencil rotation / Barrel Roll
Why isn't pen rotation enabled in Illustrator for iPad? The Apple Pencil Pro 2024 has the ability to detect pen angle, but Illustrator still doesn't detect pen rotation. For example, Procreate has this feature enabled.
Please enable iPad barrel roll illustrator in Illustrator.4 votes -

Reverse compatibility between IPad and desktop files, currently I can export from iPad to desktop. But desktop Ai files don’t export to iPad
Making it so that I can move my work seamlessly between my iPad and my desktop. iPad Air has some great features I cannot recreate on my desktop and vice versa. The one way compatibility is stunting my workflow and makes it impossible to have a positive workflow between the two.

Make Illustrator for iPad display Arabic text as connected letters
The Arabic text is supposed to be connected and not have separate letters. This issue is only in Illustrator iPad but not in other apps like Photoshop and Fresco. Please let me know how to fix it.

Do Not Change/Select Random Colors When Creating Gradients
When switching from a Solid color to a Gradient, the app will choose a (seemingly) random secondary color in order to visually show the gradient effect.
I would prefer that all points of the gradient maintain the singular ‘Solid’ color.
This is because I very often want to create a subtle gradient between a darker and lighter shade of the originally chosen color. More often than not, I need to copy the original color back into the new gradient point and then go from there - which can be frustrating because the app is making decisions for me that I…

Multi-Select multiple files to move, delete, duplicate, etc. all at once
I’d like the option to select as many files as I’d like on the Your Files page, so that I can move them all to a an existing folder, create a new folder and move them inside, duplicate or delete all files at once.

Being able to import Fresco iPad brushes to iPad illustrator and save them permanently to the illustrator brush library.
Fresco has a great set of brushes. It would improve Illustrator on the iPad immensely if they were interchangeable and could be added to the illustrator iPad brush menu permanently.

Make CC library (sub)folders and folder names visible
I work with various projects that each has separate collections, so I have my color swatches sorted accordingly into each collection folder in my CC Libraries for each project - which is great when I switch from Illustrator to Photoshop and other desktop programs. But on iPad version of Illustrator all swatches are in one huge messy mix of swatches without any kind of (sub)folders visible - I can´t believe that this basic functionality is still missing. Hope it will be improved very soon!

An eyedropper like the desktop that samples swatches, can apply appearances
If you apply global swatches to your artwork on the iPad, you can't use the eyedropper to accurately sample those colors/swatches to other objects. The eyedropper reads the color, but the formula numbers are slightly off, and it applies this to the object, rather than applying the swatch. Also, when I create a swatch on the iPad using whole numbers, when I open the file on the desktop, the swatch has decimal numbers. You can't type in any decimals on the iPad, and yet they are there on the desktop. Designers need accurate swatch functionality and a better eyedropper on…

Finger Gesture Workflow
I just started my trial for illustrator on iPad, and Im already upset because of this touch modifier button. Why am I forced as a user to use this touch modifier button? Why can’t I just use a 1 finger or 2 fingers ANYWHERE on the ipad screen to do primary and secondary behaviors? I dont want to use this touch modifier. I instead want to use my fingers because its easier and faster.
I hate how I SPECIFICALLY have to tap on this touch modifier button to do primary and secondary behaviors for different tools and actions. I want…

Blend Tool (for Illustrator iPad) Should also work for Font
at the moment blend for Illustrator iPad works only for Paths and isn’t applicable for fonts unlike in Illustrator for Desktop, hope this feature would be applied to future updates for the iPad version. Thank you very much.

Hand tool and scrolling with the mouse, horizontal scrolling as well (like a computer)
The shortcut H does not work on the ipad pro to access the hand tool, while this is the case on a computer. Scrolling up and sideways is also very important for my workflow. This is important for me to be able to pan around as I am using my iPad Pro as a laptop replacement.

Rotate tool
Being able to rotate a shape or object on a specified area would be very useful. Because the radial has its limits.
